As lockdown restrictions start to ease around the world, our recommended properties are now beginning to reopen in accordance with their government guidelines and to provide a safe and reassuring experience for their valued guests. Please visit property websites for full information.

From its conception as a sanctuary for artists, Formentor, a Royal Hideaway Hotel has seen stars of the stage, screen and political arena cross its threshold since opening in the 1920s. And just like Winston Churchill, John Wayne, Peter Ustinov, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly you’ll experience a high life that’s rare to find; a refinement and quality of service unique to well-established seaside grande dames.

The setting alone is spectacular with the rocky Tramuntana Mountains descending into the still water edged by stretches of white sandy beach. A section of which is accessed directly from the hotel via landscaped gardens. Sunbeds are available for rent on Formentor Beach where a myriad of water sports can take place, while pool-cabanas, set slightly back from the sea, provide more privacy. Each of these features a Balinese bed, hot tub, shower, bath, sun deck and small garden.

Two restaurants are also located beside the beach: La Veranda restaurant with its sprawling terrace; the Mediterranean buffet Platja Mar where the fish and meat are cooked directly in front of you. But head into the heart of the hotel for El Colomer’s international fare or to the poolside El Pi known as one of Mallorca’s finest classical restaurants. The choices continue with accommodation ranging from mountain, garden and sea-viewing rooms to the stand-alone pool villas fit for royalty. All maintain the glamorous, classic style of a bygone era dripping in pure elegance.
